*For those in positions of public trust [especially &mdash.], 
that they may serve justice and promote the dignity and 
freedom of every person,
we pray to you, O Lord.
Lord, hear our prayer.

[[For a blessing upon all human labor, and for the right use 
of the riches of creation, that the world may be freed from 
poverty, famine, and disaster,
we pray to you, O Lord.
Lord, hear our prayer.]]

For the poor, the persecuted, the sick, and all who suffer; for 
refugees, prisoners, and all who are in danger; that they may be 
relieved and protected,
we pray to you, O Lord.
Lord, hear our prayer.

[[For ourselves; for the forgiveness of our sins, and for the 
grace of the Holy Spirit to amend our lives,
we pray to you, O Lord.
Lord, hear our prayer.]]

For all who have died in the communion of your Church, and 
those whose faith is known to you alone, that, with all the 
saints, they may rest in that place where there is no pain 
or grief, but life eternal,
we pray to you, O Lord.
Lord, hear our prayer.

Rejoicing in the fellowship of [the ever-blessed Virgin Mary, 
(blessed &N.) and] all the saints, let us commend ourselves, 
and one another, and all our life to Christ our God.  
To you, O Lord our God.
